Key dates
All important dates as they stand after corrigenda: publication, pre-bid/clarification deadline, bid submission deadline, bid opening, and bid validity period.
5
Publication / online availability
No publication date is expressly labelled in the tender. The notice says the tender was available online from 10 July 2026 at 11:00 AM, while its digital signature is dated 15 July 2026; bidders should rely on the live portal record for the publication event.
Clarification deadline
27 July 2026 up to 2:00 PM.
Bid submission deadline
28 July 2026 up to 5:00 PM; online submission closes at that time.
Bid opening
Technical bid: 29 July 2026 at 11:00 AM in the office of the Chief Construction Engineer, Rural Works Circle, Sunabeda. Financial-bid opening will be intimated separately.
Bid validity
90 days from the last date of receipt of bids, i.e. from 28 July 2026. Withdrawal or modification before expiry attracts suspension for the period stated in the tender documents, with a minimum 180 days and blacklisting.
Financials
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
5
Estimated cost / tender value
The NIT value used for eligibility and EMD is Rs.443.38 lakh (INR 44,338,000). The BOQ arithmetic total is INR 44,338,239.84, a difference of INR 239.84 that should be clarified for percentage-rate and security calculations.
EMD / bid security
INR 444,000, to be submitted online. The tender states that notified Government rules apply to eligible Government undertakings, co-operative societies, registered engineering degree/diploma holders and registered SC/ST contractors. No separate EMD validity or claim period is stated; the bid itself remains valid for 90 days.
Tender document fee
INR 10,000 per set, non-refundable, payable online through the prescribed electronic-transfer process.
Initial and additional performance security
Within 10 days of acceptance, the successful bidder must top up the EMD so initial security equals 2% of accepted tender value and sign the agreement. For bids more than 10% below project cost, APS escalates by the stated formula; APS must be furnished within 7 days of emailed LoA as TDR, bank guarantee or NeSL e-bank guarantee, failing which the bid is cancelled and blacklisting initiated. Security instruments additionally permitted by the 12 March 2026 amendment include NSC, post-office savings/time deposit, KVP, qualifying bank guarantee, NeSL e-BG and IRDAI-authorised insurance surety bond.
Payment and price adjustment
Monthly bills are to be submitted for the previous month's work; admissible claims should, if possible, be adjusted within 10 days. Interim payments are advances against final payment. The P1 form also calls for deductions up to 5% from payments until a stated 10% security balance is made up, which conflicts with the tender-specific 2% initial-security clause and requires clarification. Price adjustment applies monthly for eligible work through the intended completion date or approved extensions, but not to contractor-attributable delay.
Eligibility
Every pass/fail eligibility and qualification requirement: experience and past performance, turnover/net worth, registrations and certifications, consortium/JV rules, and debarment or blacklisting conditions.
7
Eligible contractor class and registration
A Class contractors registered with Government of Odisha, or equivalent-class contractors of another State Government, Railways, CPWD or MES, may bid. An out-of-state/equivalent successful bidder must register under State PWD before agreement. Valid contractor registration and mandatory CDMS registration must be uploaded.
Similar-work experience
Execution of similar work worth 75% of estimated cost during any three financial years taken together in the preceding five years, certified by an officer not below Executive Engineer/equivalent. Multi-year contracts require year-wise breakup.
Financial turnover
Civil-engineering turnover must be at least the amount put to tender during any three financial years taken together from the preceding five years. A Chartered Accountant's year-wise certificate and Schedule-C ATO information with UDIN are required; stated escalation factors are 1.10, 1.21, 1.33, 1.46 and 1.61 for years one through five. No separate net-worth threshold is stated.
Plant and equipment
Bidder must own or have on hire/lease the prescribed road plant and score at least 80% aggregate in Format III. The listed fleet includes one 40–60 TPH hot-mix plant, paver, tandem roller, vibratory roller, power road roller, hydraulic excavator and water tanker; two concrete mixers and two tippers; and one each needle vibrator, plate vibrator and concrete joint-cutting machine. Hire/lease arrangements must run for the completion period plus 90 days; deployed-plant release certificates must be no older than 90 days at bid closing.
Hot-mix sourcing
Bidder must declare that material mix will be procured from a hot-mix plant established within 60 km of the work site before execution; non-submission causes summary rejection.
Bid capacity
Because estimated cost exceeds INR 3 crore, available bid capacity must exceed total estimated cost. Formula: A × N × 2 − B, with A as maximum annual civil-engineering work in the last five years updated at 10% yearly inflation, B as current commitments due during the work period, and N treated as one where completion is under one year. Commitments must be countersigned by an Engineer-in-Charge not below SE/EE.
JV, conduct and disqualification
Joint ventures, consortium agreements and MOUs are not allowed. A bidder must not have abandoned similar work or had a contract rescinded in the last five years. False/misleading submissions, poor performance, abandonment, improper completion, inordinate delay, litigation history or financial failure are disqualification grounds; canvassing causes rejection. Existing cancelled/suspended/blacklisted registration blocks portal registration.
Scope of work
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
3
Road construction package
Percentage-rate construction of the Engural–Slleru (Andhra Pradesh) road under MMSY-CMRL in Malkanagiri district for 2025-26, under R.W. Division-I, Malkangiri.
Principal deliverables and quantities
The BOQ includes clearing, embankment and earthwork; granular and wet-mix layers; bituminous surfacing including SDBC; drainage/cross-drainage and protection items; signs, road furniture and markings. Indicative major quantities include 3,805.62 m³ borrow-pit embankment, two WMM quantities of 189.34 m³ and 189 m³, 31.56 m³ SDBC, 800 RCC guard posts plus 74 smaller guard posts, and road-sign maintenance over 1.03 km. BOQ quantities are not guaranteed and may be varied by the Engineer.
Completion and maintenance
Construction completion is 9 calendar months. The BOQ separately prices maintenance activities for years 1 through 5, including bituminous pothole repairs, signage, shoulders/vegetation and related road upkeep; the contract also requires subsequent maintenance/defect correction, subject to the 24-versus-60-month conflict reported under contradictions.
Required documents & submission
The complete checklist of documents to submit — mandatory vs conditional, with any prescribed formats, proformas or annexures — plus how to submit: portal and mode, envelope/cover structure, digital signature requirements, signing and attestation rules, and physical originals with their deadline.
23
Portal and bid structure
Submit only online through https://www.tendersodisha.gov.in. The bid has a Technical Bid and a Financial Bid; technical qualification files are uploaded as PDFs in designated locations, while the protected percentage BOQ is completed without alteration and uploaded as the financial bid.
Digital signature and acceptance
Bidder must possess a compatible DSC of the required class, log in with the DSC and upload each document. The DTCN itself is not uploaded; bidder must agree to it online. The tender does not specify a DSC class number.
Signing and file rules
Scanned eligibility and qualification records are uploaded in PDF. Prescribed spreadsheet formats must be completed and converted to PDF. The protected BOQ permits only bidder name and quoted percentage/value fields; alteration, deletion or manipulation causes cancellation. Bids cannot be corrected or retrieved after submission.
Originals and physical submission
No pre-opening physical package or fixed physical-original deadline is stated. Originals of the successful bidder's uploaded documents must be produced to the concerned authority on receipt of its registered-post letter and verified before agreement; PAN/GST originals may also be demanded for verification.
Corrigendum analysis
Every corrigendum/addendum in order — what changed (original vs amended value), its impact, and the action for the bidder — ending with the values that finally apply.
The AI found nothing to report for this question.
Contradictions
Genuine conflicts within and across the documents (original vs corrigenda, clause vs annexure, tender document vs BOQ): both sides with citations, and which value prevails.
4
Estimated cost differs from BOQ total
NIT: Rs.443.38 lakh (INR 44,338,000); BOQ total: INR 44,338,239.84. The NIT value expressly drives qualification and EMD, but the BOQ drives priced work, leaving a INR 239.84 mismatch. Use the NIT threshold for eligibility unless the authority clarifies the percentage/APS calculation base.
Defect-liability period: 24 versus 60 months
Several general clauses state 24 months and refund security after 24 months, while the later-labelled 'NEW CLAUSE' sets a 60-month defect period. The specific new clause should prevail, and the BOQ independently prices five years of maintenance; bidder should price a 60-month exposure pending written confirmation.
Security level: 2% versus 10%
Tender-specific award clause requires EMD plus initial security to equal 2% of accepted value, but the embedded P1 payment clause refers to a 10% security balance and deductions up to 5% from bills. The tender-specific clause is more recent/specific for initial security; however, the continuing bill deduction and total-security treatment need written clarification.
Stale notice dates versus 2026 procurement
The notice header is printed as 07/07/2021 and forwarding memos as 07/07/2022, although all operational bid dates and both digital signatures are in July 2026. The 2026 operational dates and signatures prevail; the older years appear to be uncorrected template errors.
Pre-bid queries
Only critical, tender-specific pre-bid queries that could materially change bid/no-bid, pricing, eligibility or contractual risk. Skip generic or obvious questions the documents already answer clearly.
4
Confirm defect and maintenance exposure
Please confirm whether contractual defect liability/security retention is 60 months under Clause 6.32(B), notwithstanding the 24-month P1 clauses, and explain how this interfaces with the separately priced five-year BOQ maintenance obligations.
Confirm total security and bill deductions
Please state the final initial/performance-security percentage and whether P1 Clause 6 deductions continue until 10%, given tender Clause 1.11's 2% top-up requirement; also specify release timing for APS and each security component.
Confirm calculation base
Please confirm whether INR 44,338,000 (NIT) or INR 44,338,239.84 (BOQ) is the project cost for quoted-percentage, bid-capacity and APS calculations, and issue a corrected BOQ/NIT if required.
Confirm EMD instrument workflow
Please confirm that EMD and tender fee are portal payments only and that no original instrument is due before opening; the DTCN also mentions failure to furnish original technical/financial (tender-cost) instruments but gives no recipient or deadline. Also confirm any EMD instrument validity/claim requirement not stated in the tender.
Risks
Commercial, legal and execution risks a bidder should weigh: liquidated damages and penalties, unusual or one-sided clauses, tight timelines, and payment or security risks.
7
Delay damages and rescission
Time is of the essence. Delay compensation is 0.5% of estimated cost per day for uncommenced/unfinished work and one-third percent per day for milestone shortfall, capped at 10% of estimated cost. On rescission, 20% of the value of leftover work is recoverable as penalty.
Five-year defect/maintenance exposure
The newer clause exposes the contractor to making good imperfections for 60 months, with recovery from security and personal liability for any shortfall. The BOQ also contains five years of maintenance quantities, creating long-tail cost and security risk despite older 24-month clauses.
Quantity and scope-change risk
Government disclaims correctness/completeness of scheduled quantities and may omit, add or deduct to any extent without invalidating rates or paying extra monetary compensation. Contractor also has no lost-profit compensation if Government curtails the work.
Site and input-price risk
Bidder is deemed to have inspected site, availability of materials/labour and all difficulties; no extra payment is due for misjudgment. Contractor must arrange land, water, stores and field office at its own cost. Price adjustment exists, but uncovered cost movements remain embedded in quoted rates and no adjustment applies to contractor-attributable delay.
Security forfeiture and blacklisting
Failure to sign agreement/top up initial security forfeits EMD. Failure to furnish APS within 7 days cancels the bid and initiates blacklisting. The L1 bidder that does not execute agreement faces three-year bidding debarment and blacklisting; false documents, withdrawal during validity or failure to execute agreement can also block portal registration.
Payment and security uncertainty
Interim payments are expressly advances against final settlement, deductions may be made from any sums due, and the document contains unresolved 2%-versus-10% security language. Monthly claims are only to be adjusted 'if possible' within 10 days, so cash-flow timing is not firm.
Tight mobilisation and equipment risk
Completion is 9 months and the successful bidder must submit programme/milestones before acceptance and mobilise the specified heavy plant. Failure to mobilise machinery in time for the original programme leads to 180-day debarment; hot-mix supply must be from within 60 km.
Contacts
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
